    Looked everywhere for a nut that’ll fit the top side of the rear shock and failed, tried multiple sizes as well. Seems as it sheared off after some time with the lift. Anyone know the direct size “nut” it is for it? (Trying to get it fixed faster than waiting a week for shipping)

    Yup. Its probably fine thread if I had to guess

    But if the original one sheared off as you say, Id be concerned about being able to get a new one on there.. How do the remining threads look?

    RC 3.5/2 lift. Stock ones were able to fit but replaced with the new ones that came in. Threads look fine.

    remaining threads look good, made sure I put washers and bushing on right multiple times. Maybe I was just tired and bullshitted a little.

    The new ones are they RC, or what? Stock length, or extended length. If not extended you are still going to have a problem.

    Guess Im still not totally understanding what your issue is.. Maybe post a picture?

    I can tell you the nuts on my Kings are 1/2" fine thread. Available at most local hardware stores. Recommend you get some Nyloc nuts to avoid them working loose as easy
